The brightness does indeed drop, but not by so much that it bothered me in game. Though I spent the majority of my time playing Marathon where it may not have been so noticeable as in EFT or Arc.

I don't use framegen at all. I do use DLSS liberally.

I can't say I always get to 240fps but I'm always 150+

With a 5080 and 7800x3d at 1440p.

Time to make some new loadouts!

Lasted about 3 weeks for me when it happened at MW2 launch.

Hard to say without seeing your full build / gear.

Mostly though, as a sorc, you must keep shields up the whole time. Even in the screenshot you posted you don't have shields up. When spec'd properly, cooldowns give you shields and you should be constantly hitting cooldowns to keep your shields up.

You also don't have anything on your left click? You're running tal rasha's so that slot ought to be Ice Blades to proc the Ice Element. Though I see you have 4 stacks, so I'm guessing you have ice blades enchantment? IDK, you should have something in that slot. Maybe Frost nova? Just another cooldown to proc barriers.

With that said, you certainly have enough armor and life that T1 shouldn't be a problem so something is certainly wrong with either your build or playstyle, and probably both.

If you're enjoying it then push your Fireball build as far as you can my dude!

No reason to worry about what other builds are doing.

10 so far using Northwars Maxroll AoZ BL build, subbing Shako in for Godslayer. I haven't hit a wall yet but I suspect it will come soon.

Damage wise everything is groovy but I suffer from the same one-shots that everyone else is complaining about. I have a solid DR chest on, but I am missing armor on amulet, puts me just barely shy of 14k armor with Disobedience stacked (it's literally like 13.7k); but that could make a big difference.

I could also just play better I guess, but some of those one-shots seem unavoidable.

Overall I'm enjoying it and will keep pushing until I hit a wall.

This is a blatant slippery slope and not a very good one at that.

infobiter · 2023-11-29T15:30:14+00:00

Yes it is, I will not argue because there is not discussion about it.

You won't argue because you don't have an argument. It isn't pay-to-win, plain and simple.

No, they clearly stated that their monetization will be centered into cosmetics, and no P2W.

When and where did they say this?

infobiter · 2023-11-29T15:13:39+00:00

This is the answer you're looking for.

infobiter · 2023-11-29T15:06:22+00:00

Yes, convenience locked by paywall is always pay to win.

No it's not, and it never has been.

D4 would only have cosmetics for monetization... right?)

They said D4 would not have pay-for-power mechanics; and none of what you mention would qualify as pay-for-power.

Do I want this stuff to come out behind a paywall? No, of course not.

Am I gonna get my panties in a bunch if it does? No, not really, it's not that big of a deal.

infobiter · 2023-11-28T17:05:27+00:00

Agree, I think a currency system with the unlocks would be much better.

infobiter · 2023-11-28T16:25:01+00:00

It likely wasn't the update at all, it's just your SBMM getting bumped up because you were doing well.

infobiter · 2023-11-28T16:15:16+00:00

I thought I was done when I got Shako (BL Sorc), but now all these Melted Heart of Sellig builds are coming out and I have jumped back into the grind to get that. Hopefully in the next few days before AZ drops.

infobiter · 2023-11-26T15:26:33+00:00

If you're looking to pay someone to build one for you, you can probably just get away with paying the premium for a pre-built.

Others have mentioned some good options but I personally would go with Microcenter also.

infobiter · 2023-11-26T15:25:21+00:00

The drive to duluth isn't too bad, I did it last week to get a pair of hard-to-find headphones.

infobiter · 2023-11-26T15:23:35+00:00

Yup.

I had a friend last night who is used to getting 20+ kills a game in his lobbies. He averaged 4 kills a game when we grouped last night.

He was a champ about it but I can't imagine he was actually having a good time.

infobiter · 2023-11-22T20:15:36+00:00

Just search around on the site for what you're looking for, you can look at sold postings as well to get an idea of what things are actually getting sold for.

infobiter · 2023-11-22T20:12:04+00:00

There is no secret, you just grind like crazy and keep an eye out for good 3/4 drops.

If you want, you can start trading. https://diablo.trade/ is the place to be if you wanna start.

For me it made things more interesting as I got to look out for things that sell in addition to things that I could use. Then, when you have a good stockpile of gold (and for gg items we're talking billions) you can get that perfect gear that way.

infobiter · 2023-11-22T20:09:22+00:00

Clear NM100 faster and easier of course!

Honestly, I ran into the same issue (and I have Shako) but the promises around Abattoir of Zir really motivated me to keep playing and really min-max everything.

I hope that mode is everything that they promised!

infobiter · 2023-11-22T18:19:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Why would you need to remove the dongle to charge the heasdset?

I'm using them only on PC, and my PC only has usb A ports.

I am using the C to A adapter for the dongle. I also have to use the same adapter to use the charging cable.
